STOREY & ROGERS
SHIP US YOUR COTTON.

We have long contended that our
Cotton Market is the best in the State
and every season the fact is more and
more manifest. This season, how
ever, has so far afforded the best il
lustration. We have received more
Cotton, sold it quicker and given bet
ter satisfaction than any season since
we have been in business. All classes
of shippers have given us trial this
season, and all classes have been
pleased with the result.
If you have not yet favored us with
shipments, we would strongly urge
you to turn your next consignment
to us. We have the means and ia
elites to please you. Ii you are
shipping elsewhere, we ask you to
divide you shipments with US and
compare results. If you have ship
ped lis before, and have been induced
to quit for some cause or other, you
may be sure that the cause was more
apparent than real, and all we want
is, a candid explanation and fair OPP
portunity to make things right and
satisfactory. We don'tpretend to be
infallible, but we do claim that on
account of our long experience in the
business, thorough training and per-
feet organization, we can obtain the
very best results out of a lot of Cot
ton, if anybody can.
We would be glad to correspond with
parties interested in Cotton, and send stem
ellis and daily quotations on application, free
of charge

The article on Temperance and Prohibi-
ton, by our talented townsman. Mr.. A. M.
Young the publication of which is begun in
our present issue, is much too long for
small paper like ours; but in view of the
growing interest in the subject and thor
oughness of treatment, and rs due to II
neiphbor and friend we concluded to pub
lish.
We will just remark os to his scriptural
argument. that while his position is proba-
Div correct, we regard it as eminently de.
sirab,o that the pnre unfermented JUICE of
the grape should be used exclusively on
sacramental occasions. John B. Cough re-
lates an instance where the slumoerlng
taste for strong drink was aroused to the
downfall of reformed drunkard by tasting
the sacramental cup. and there have no
doubt been many other similar cases.
Surely no such risks should be run when
they can be avoided.

Prize.

Prize.
San Francisco tca1) Chronicle, MAYA
Zacharias Messenger is q barber who
has pursued his trade of scraping
chins and clipping hair at 315 Bush
street for some two or three years
past. He has during that time had
the honor of exercising his tonsorial
art upon the caput and physiognomy
of Boss Buckley and in consequence
has enjoyed the patronage of the fol-
lowers of the great Bush street states
man. His trade was a good one and
afforded him a good living, but moth
ing more, and he has endeavored to
increase his store of gold by wooing
the tickle Goddess of Fortune by in
vesting In lottery tickets. Hepaid his
addresses more particularlyto the good
dame who presides over the drawings
of The Louisiana State Lottery and
has held one or two coupons in
nearly every drawing during the last
three years. As the gamblers say, he
has played in good luck and has
nearlyalways won enough TO give him q
small profit, so that lately he has been
playing with the money OF the bank. :"
A few drawings ago he. came down
town and as he passed the
Chronicle Office he saw by the
bulletin board that ticket 67,O6O
had drawn the capital prize of $780,
600. He knew that his ticket was
81, 900 and something and he rushed
home to get it. His delight can be
imagined when he found that he held
q coupon OF the winning ticket, which
entitled him to $4,000. He went
down to his shop, presented each OF
his assistants with suit of clothes,
made arrangements for them to carry
on the business and last week he and
his wife started on trip to Europe.
He expects to be gone about seven
months and to spend from So, 500 to
81, 1000 on the trip. Theremainder oil
the money he will invest in some safe
security as a nest egg, and when he
